Overview
From Caldwell, Idaho, a 400-acre orchard owned by the Church hosts thousands of volunteers from the surrounding communities every year. Fruit, such as apples, pears, and peaches, is harvested every year and given to food banks in the United States and to Church humanitarian efforts.
Service Opportunities
Volunteers can be asked to serve in a variety of ways depending on the time of year. Harvesting and picking the fruit takes place in the late summer months, from August to October. Other service opportunities offered throughout the rest of the year may include planting, pruning, and thinning trees.
Most individuals come to serve early Saturday mornings at sunrise to avoid the heat of the day. They are encouraged to wear long sleeve shirts and long pants and bring sun protection (hats, sunscreen, etc.) and water.
